Before Cheng Yan's trip, he obviously finished all his work, but just after he came back, he was faced with a lot of things.
Bie Canglong received a good harvest, and there are two more TV stations to broadcast, planning a series of promotional programs. This drama can be regarded as Cheng Yan's first time to play the leading role alone. On the day when the ratings of the first episode came out, Cheng Yan shook his feet as soon as he sat down, Xia Shaoqian couldn't stand it anymore. Fortunately, Teacher Yang called and told him that the opening ratings would rank among the top three in the first episode of the year, so Cheng Yan was relieved to take a vacation.
The more important thing than Fu Canglong's publicity is to confirm the new drama.
On the way back, Cheng Yan kept asking Teacher Yang: "Do you really think I'm suitable for this role? This drama?"
Even without Xia Shaoqian's instruction, Teacher Yang would not miss such a resource: "You don't like the script and that character?"
Before Cheng Yan said that this script was "good", his evaluation of this script was not only "good". If this script is adapted into a novel, Cheng Yan will definitely be full of praise, but the script needs to be replayed by the director and performed by the actors.
He doubts that the crew can really perform everything described in the script. A script that cannot be perfectly interpreted can only be said to be "good" at a discount.
"It's not that I don't like it, it's just..." Cheng Yan suddenly realized that he was afraid. He was afraid that he would not perform well. This was a feeling he hadn't felt for a long time.
"Just what?"
"It's so good," Cheng Yan smiled, "If it was a novel, I'd definitely stock up a dozen at home. The leading actor is also too good... It's not that he's a good person. He's complicated... and he lives in various ways. Under pressure, but the more squeezed the sharper, the person who wrote this character is really amazing...”
Teacher Yang interrupted him: "Then why are you dissatisfied?"
"It's not dissatisfaction!"
This is the best script he has encountered since he stepped into this line of work, and it would be an honor to play a supporting role in it. And now what awaits him ahead of him is the male protagonist who leads and controls the whole drama.
He needs some time to digest.
Teacher Yang took Cheng Yan to the scene of the studio that was being built.
What is being built is the home of the hero. There were architects on site holding the blueprints to direct, those who installed the stairs installed the stairs, and those who made the furniture made the furniture. It was in full swing, exactly the same as the real decoration.
"All the furniture is made now?" Cheng Yan was surprised. This kind of big props are usually pulled over and reused, and it would be very conscientious to repaint them.
Teacher Yang smiled: "Part of it is redesigned according to the old photos at that time, which not only retains the style of the past, but also caters to modern aesthetics."
Cheng Yan has nothing to say to the crew who pay attention to details. It is also burning money, arranging more activities and making more good props, the benefits received are completely different.
So everyone can understand that the crew spends money where the results are obvious, but what moves people is always conscience and sincerity.
"As expected of Director Cai..." Cheng Yan sighed. Director Cai Mengxin is a qualified film director. Five years ago, he had a car accident and he was not young anymore, so he simply retired to recuperate.
I didn't expect to pick a TV series to practice my comeback.
Cheng Yan doesn't care about being trained. Although filming and filming TV series are two different things, Director Cai is famous for his versatility. When he was young, he not only filmed TV series and documentaries, but also worked part-time as an actor, filming, editing, and filling in theme songs...
He even felt lucky to be trained by Director Cai.
The writer's signature is "Vince," apparently a pseudonym. Although he didn't have a single work with this name, Cheng Yan was sure that as soon as this drama was aired, he would immediately jump to the front line and become a big-name screenwriter who could truly win people over.
With such a director and screenwriter, coupled with the scene where Kungfu is truly performed, Cheng Yan suddenly had an illusion—surrounded by these people, the throne is in front of him.
As long as he has the courage to step forward...
"Did Mr. Xia already know?" Cheng Yan asked suddenly.
If Ouyang Zhiyi is also interested, the company fully supports him, and he knows who is playing a role without thinking about it.
Teacher Yang smiled: "What do you think?"
They come out of the field, the sun is very poisonous. Cheng Yan wore a pair of sunglasses, and Teacher Yang couldn't see the expression on his face: "Don't think about anything else, just touch your heart and ask yourself if you are willing to take this drama. If you are not courageous, you are afraid of acting Damn, I have nothing to say..."
"I want to act," Cheng Yan smiled brightly, "I won't smash it, I won't smash it!"
Returning to the roof of Xia Shaoqian's building at night, Cheng Yan was still excited.
"I've got a new show!"
Xia Shaoqian seemed to be infected by his excitement, he also laughed, hugged him and kissed him: "So happy?"
"Because I have a premonition that this show will be a success," Cheng Yan couldn't help waving his hands, "It's like an athlete always has an intuition before a competition..."
Xia Shaoqian grabbed his arm: "Okay, okay... when will you move here?"
Cheng Yan replied: "Tomorrow."
Xia Shaoqian was very dissatisfied. Cheng Yanlue felt guilty. He said "tomorrow" yesterday, but he ran around with Mr. Yang in the afternoon, and went back to the company to finalize the new drama. So the move was delayed.
"Really, we must move tomorrow."
After not moving, it will only get busier for a while, Tang Bohu's publicity period will start, and preparations for new dramas will also be made.
In the evening, Cheng Yan no longer shy away from Xia Shaoqian, and studied the script in front of him.
After confirming that this character is me, it seems to be another feeling.
Xia Shaoqian asked him gently: "What role is it?"
Cheng Yan didn't raise his head: "You don't know?"
There was no sound, Cheng Yan raised his head and met Xia Shaoqian's inquiring gaze, he shook Xia Shaoqian's hand: "I really don't know?"
Xia Shaoqian shook his head.
Cheng Yan couldn't help laughing, didn't Xia Shaoqian really help him secretly? Or more likely Daddy-Long-Legs.
"The background is Shanghai in the 1920s and 1930s..." He began to tell Xia Shaoqian slowly.
